Sullivan Middle School faculty, staff, and students would like to thank the Sullivan Community Education Foundation for their wonderful generosity and support. A number of initiatives were awarded with grants during the annual Staff Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, April 5th.
Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Winkels teamed up with Van Grissom from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to provide 6th graders with some fun learning opportunities! Students enjoyed meeting a variety of freshwater animals during a classroom presentation and becoming expert anglers with a day of fishing at Wyman Lake!
5th Grade students spend their week graphing survey results from all their “5th grade favorites.” Students worked with a partner to come up with a question to ask everyone, then they all took a survey using a Google form, and are now graphing their results! Just in case anyone was wondering, the Cubs are the overall favorite baseball team in 5th grade! Can you guess what teacher was put in charge of creating this post?
Students at Sullivan Middle School were honored at the third quarter Breakfast of Champions. These students have demonstrated tremendous character both in and out of the classroom. Congratulations Addison Owens, Dominique Reed, Luke Waelde, Wyatt Poynor, Lexie Hay, Hadarah Scott, Isabelle Owens and Ryan Lawyer. #OneTribe

5th grade students in Ms. Heddins’ class took 1,163 items to the food pantry today. All food items were donated by students at SES for the “Soup”er Bowl Drive! Students got to tour the food pantry and they also sorted and stacked all the food that was brought in so the workers didnt have to do it! What a fun afternoon!

Charges may appear on accounts initially, but they will be manually removed later. Please ensure your student has a fully charged iPad in the morning along with a book to read when they are done testing. We will be testing every day this week.
